Author: Jojo Moyes
I was ready to read something a little lighter and this fit the bill perfectly.
This is the second book starring the character Louisa. The first in the series (Me Before You) dealt with some tough issues, but this was pure enjoyment. The story takes place several months after Will’s death as Louisa tries to move on with her life. There is an interesting cast of characters and, in places, it was laugh-out-loud funny.

What would prompt make anyone to make a sub-titled documentary about street cats in Istanbul?
Apparently someone had a reason, and someone thought it would be a good pick for our Cinematheque series. Neither Pat nor I thought so!

I made a quick trip to the Credit Union this morning. I usually plan on a quick trip and then stand in the line-up for half an hour which ends up not being very quick. But today I made it through the line very quickly.
I had time this morning to do a bit of Cranberry Hall accounting, wrap a few more fat quarters and even empty my physical in-basket. I did some tidying and I can almost see the top of my quilting table – the first sight of it in a long time.
Today was a hand stitching day – 3 at 1. I ran out of energy before our time was up and definitely before I ran out of stitching. The two ladies I stitch with started a new project but I didn’t have the pattern so I’ll be a week behind the next time we get together. Gail is planning to rent time on her long arm and I told her I’d be very interested. I have several quilts ready but I need to wait until I can manage a long session of standing.
We’ll be catching the Texada ferry early tomorrow but we have a couple of chairs and a few more bins to load in the morning. The chairs will be sitting upright in the truck bed and I hope we don’t look too much like the Beverly Hillbillies as we head out!

These days I don’t accomplish much in the afternoon so I may as well write my post early.
We headed out to run a few errands this morning; Pat had some things at Staples for the next concert at Cranberry Hall and I went across to Walmart to pick up a digital clock and broom and dustpan for the Texada house. From there we went to the bank and sorted out the money for the Texada house and then stopped to drop it off at the lawyer’s. I had a payment to drop off at the newspaper office and then Pat took the concert tickets to Rockit Music. It was good to get it all done in one trip.
When we got home I packed up a box of dishes that we will take with us to Texada. Our piles are getting higher and we just hope everything will fit into the truck. We’ll stay over for most of the weekend, provided we’ve remembered to bring all the essentials.
I’ve done a bit of accounting for Cranberry Hall since lunch; I soon need to get busy with Pat’s year end, particularly because I seem to be slower at doing everything!
This afternoon I’ll wrap a few more packages for the Guild challenge, gather together my hand stitching for tomorrow afternoon’s session, gather something to work on when we are on Texada, and get the sleeve sewn onto the backdrop for Cranberry Hall.
Tonight is movie night!
